Since Cesar works a lot from his computer at home translating, or in portuguese, his "trabalho", Alicey always wants to "trabalhar" too. Well, this past Saturday our neighborhood had a big garage sale and we found this "trabalho" for Alicey! It doesn't really work, but she doesn't care! It's a kid laptop!And here we have Alicey and Olivia enjoying their new "weeee" we bought when we got back from Brazil. For now it's in our living room. It's been really rainy outside recently and with the dogs in the back yard, it's safer here. They love playing on it, even though it's pretty small for Alicey. Olivia climbs up the slide, stands up, and then usually won't come down. She'll stand there bouncing, walking back and forth, and yelling, until one of us goes over there and helps her down.

And here we have Alicey and Olivia's favorite new present- a play house! Cesar's mom sent us home with some money to buy toys for the girls, and my parents gave us money for birthday presents for the girls this summer, and with it we bought this! It has a working door bell and cordless phone! They are playing it in write now as I write this! Thank you Mom, Dad, and Vovo Alicey!!! And finally, here's what Olivia just did when I handed her a bowl of fishy crackers...
